Synology - DVR Crashing after 2021.04.14.1420 Update/Tuning to FS1/FS2 on TVE

Hello!

Thanks for the update to address the TVE issue, however it's caused a different problem with my DVR it seems.

First, playing back FS1/FS2 (TVE feeds) in the browser had audio glitches throughout and would slide more and more out of sync. Playing it on the app on the phone resulted in a very strange stuttering/echo scenario, and the logs contained a lot of audio related looking errors.

I went back to see if these entries were present when viewing from the browser, but now when I try to play either, the DVR panics and shuts off. Here's a snippet of the log entry because it's mostly the same:

panic: runtime error: integer divide by zero

Thanks!

Just a cursory look over those logs looks to me that there is a problem with the audio stream in the source, and when Channels tried to remux the stream to serve it, the incoming stream was so bad, that it crashed the program.

Assuming when you tried to watch it via the Channels app that it didn't crash but just had bad audio, it sounds like the app's streaming quality was set to Original. If that's the case, this points more to issues with the source, not Channels.

The only thing I can go off of is if I access FS1 or FS2 from their websites, they play back just fine. I figure that always doesn't necessarily translate into that it then should work here the same, but maybe someone who knows what to look for under the hood can see what's up! Who knows if they changed something, too!

It was indeed on Original quality on the iOS App (I'm outside the home right now so I can't view it on my ATV4K), but threw up the same logs when I moved it to 6Mbps (saying remux in the log but Transcode in activity). At least the last couple of attempts at viewing the channel didn't result in crashes, but did still result in the App audio stuttering/echoing like crazy, and the browser plays with audio hiccups every maybe 8-10 seconds and it slipping out of sync, along with similar corresponding log entries.

:frowning:

Fixed in next prerelease

Submitted logs were from 2021.04.14.1420. Was just able to upgrade to 2021.04.14.1650 and they seem to play just fine now on both Browser and Mobile with no audio errors reported in the logs. Thank you!!
